Fallout Shelter: Best Quests (2024)

Fallout Shelter is a mobile and desktop, colony building game that takes place within the same universe as other games in the Fallout series. Later released for Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch players, it is completely free to download and play Fallout Shelter, but the game does feature microtransactions, and there is a cash shop that the player may want to spend at least a little money on.

Exploration of the wasteland and questing is quite a large part of the gameplay in Fallout Shelter. There are a great many quests, from simple single task quests to incredibly long, multiple quest chain adventures. The best quests in this game generally provide excellent rewards upon completion. Therefore, every Fallout Shelter player is going to want to try and complete as many as they can in order to unlock the goodies that can be gained from them. That said, not all quests are as rewarding as others.

Quest Stages

• The Case of the Captured Canine

Fallout Shelter is a popular game, and most players will likely attempt this quest at some stage. The Detective Case Files quest in Fallout Shelter can be found under the miscellaneous category. During this quest, the player will need to search for certain clues and evidence. Progression is linear, and each of the 5 parts of this quest offers fairly decent rewards.

The main item gained from completing this quest is the Detective Outfit. This is an excellent legendary outfit with +4 boosts to perception, endurance, intelligence, and luck stats. There is also a chance the player will loot some legendary junk along the way. Overall, this is a great outfit to equip vault dwellers with for basic questing and wasteland exploration.

5 A Wasteland Tail

Free Legendary Pet

Quest Stages

• SOS!
• Canine Recovery
• Vault 199
• In Another Vault
• The Tail Continues
• No Time for Paws
• Notable rewards: Legendary pet

A Wasteland Tail is a series of related quests that every player of Fallout Shelter will want to complete as soon as they can. However, it is not available to start until the player has completed the Journey to the Center of Vaultopolis series of quests.

After completing all 6 segments of this quest, the player will be rewarded with a random legendary pet. This is arguably the easiest way to get hold of a legendary pet without having to rely on the RNG when looting in the wasteland.

4 Nabbed From Nuka-World

A Fun Themed Quest

Quest Stages

• Bottlecap Blues
• In Hot Pursuit
• Playing Catch-up
• Pet Peeve
• A Refreshing Rescue
• Notable rewards: Bottle and Cappy

The Nabbed from Nuka-World quest in Fallout Shelter is a limited-time quest. This means that players need to complete it within a time limit, and if they don’t, they will fail the quest. This quest has five separate stages, and all of them have to be completed within the time limit.

Two mascots are given as a reward for completing the Nabbed from Nuka-World quest. These mascots provide certain vault-wide buffs, such as +20% to the happiness of all vault dwellers. This makes it well worth trying to get this quest done.

3 Horsem*n Of The Post-Apocalypse Part 1

The Start Of The Long Horsem*n Of The Post-Apocalypse Quest Series

Quest Stages

• Radroach Roundup
• Undercover Operations
• Dogs of War
• Springing the Trap
• Beat Reporting
• Matters to Settle
• Notable rewards: 4000 caps, rare Lunchbox Survivor armor

The Horsem*n of the Post-Apocalypse quest series is actually three sets of quest stages that form one overall quest chain. This is both the longest and the best quest series in Fallout Shelter. It provides some excellent quest rewards across all three parts.

Players shouldn't expect to complete the entire Horsem*n of the Post-Apocalypse series quickly; it will take quite some time to get through all three parts, but it is well worth the effort. Even the first stage has some excellent rewards, with the massive 4000 cap reward at the end being the best of these.

2 Horsem*n Of The Post-Apocalypse Part 2

Legendary Pet Reward

Quest Stages

• Parley Time
• Crime Scene Investigation
• Death Revealed?
• Give me Liberty and/or Death
• Operation: Sandman
• Release the Raiders!
• Notable rewards: Legendary pet

It is very hard to cover this epic quest chain without giving out spoilers, even the names of the quest stages give the game away somewhat. However, the second part of the Horsem*n of the Post-Apocalypse questline is exceptionally well crafted. The player will make some startling discoveries and visit some cool locations as part of it, too.

The quest rewards at each stage are excellent, but it is the pet carrier awarded at the end of the quest series that is the best, as it contains a legendary pet. During this quest series, the player will discover one of the classic vaults from Fallout canon.

1 Horsem*n Of The Post-Apocalypse Part 3

End Game Legendary Armor Reward

Quest Stages

• Set 'em Up: Pestilence
• Set 'em Up: Famine
• Run, Three Dog, Run!
• Knock 'Em Down
• At Death's Door
• Just Deserts
• Notable rewards: End-game legendary armor

These are the final segments of the three interlinked Horsem*n of the Post-Apocalypse quest chains. This is a tough quest to complete, but it provides some of the best item rewards of all of the quests in Fallout Shelter. Once again, this is a quest series that is going to take quite some time to complete.

This quest series gives a total of over 12,000 caps as rewards, with 3,000 or more being rewarded at each of the quest stages. But it is the legendary armor, which could be War's Armor or Pestilence Armor, that is the best of all the quest rewards.
